Chapter 163 Hunter's Slip-Up

After a while, Martin regained his composure and took out his mobile phone to call Patricia.

In his line of sight, Patricia and Hunter had just stopped under the dim light of a streetlamp.

They paused, and Patricia made a motion as if she was about to reach for her phone. Moments later, her voice came through the line, crisp and clear, "Hey, what's up? Is there something else?"

With a deadpan expression, Martin asked, "Where are you now?"

Patricia replied, "I’m at the hospital! What's the matter?"

Her impatient tone pierced Martin's heart with a sharp pain.

"In which part of the hospital are you? It's snowing, and you didn't bring an umbrella. I can bring one to you."

Patricia declined the offer without hesitation, "No need."

In the past, such persistent rejection would have led Martin to hang up immediately. He was not one to be indulged.

It seems that only others had ever tried to please him; he's never stooped to this level of desperation.
